The Hours of Sadness (Explicit) Lyrics
The Hours Of Sadness - Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows (永恒的沉睡)
Comes the golden Light of the Dogday afternoon
Waiting for the sacred Hour when he comes to my Room
He brings me Flowers beautiful
He's been doing that for Years
And photographic Memories
Trophies of his Victories
Vouchers of Conquests boldly flagged streaming high
On Mass of Battle-ships
Sailing on the troubled Seas
Waters of dull Aquaintances
Spread out on the Blackness here
Of this shroud-like tablecloth crocheted
Glossy Evidance of Lust of all the handsome
Men he had
Like an Assassin's Game of Cards
Unshuffled Oracle of Love
Of one Nightstands half hearted Loss
Stolen Kisses past Jerk-offs
Liassons that went nowhere
Fleeting Moments without Hope or Care
All laid out now before me here
Between Dessert Plates and cups of Tea
I feel for him
As I feel for no other Man
But Sadness is the only Thing
That he and I will ever share
Each Polaroid it bears a young
But slightly out-of-focus Face
White Teeth exposed in Flashlight-smiles
Well-defined Bodies strong and tanned
Names and Numbers Cyphers traced
Like Promises upon each Frame
According to the features shown
Sadly all poses look the same
I hardly speak I rarely do
My role is just to sit and listen
To the Tales he unfolds offers to me
His palest Hunt of Agony
The sexless priest
The joyless Clown
Who never judges only frowns
Sipping tea and offering Chocolate Cake
For it does concole the Heart that lies in Ache
The fading portraits on my walls
Dead people I have never met
Unlike his photos Trophies all
Decount to Lovers Men he had
I feel for him
As I feel for no other Man
But Sadness is the only Thing
That he and I will ever share
